Smart Today

What it is

Most people train on a routine they never told the app about. Push, pull, legs. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Maybe Sunday if you missed a day. Smart Today spots that pattern on its own. When you open the Log screen, one card answers the question you came with: what should I do today?

The card names the step you’re due for and gives you a Start button. Tap it and your workout opens, pre-set to that day.

What you see on each tier

Smart Today is a graduated feature. The Today card shows for everyone. The depth grows with your tier.

• FREE: the Today card with the rotation step you’re due for and a Start button.
• PRO: adds rotation groups and the recovery body figure so the pick can weigh which muscles are still tired.
• ELITE: adds a readiness easy-day override. After a short night or a low-HRV morning, the headline pivots to suggest an easier day.

How it spots your pattern

Smart Today looks for an A, B, C style rotation in two ways.

By your saved routines

Say you train from the same saved routines each week. Kinoku groups your workouts by which routine you used. Three routines in a steady cycle reads as a push, pull, legs rotation. You set up nothing.

By what each session worked

Say you don’t use saved routines. Maybe you just train on the fly. Kinoku still checks which muscle groups each session hit. It then groups sessions that look alike. Two sessions that share at least 70% of the same muscle groups count as the same kind of day. The math behind this is called a Jaccard score, but you never have to think about it.

Either way, Kinoku finds your rotation. You don’t have to spell it out.

Rotation groups

Once a rotation is found, you can name it as a Rotation Group, like “Push / Pull / Legs.” It links the matching routines or sessions. Smart Today then picks from the group using a few rules:

• It won’t push you past your week. If you already did A and B this week and you’re low on recovery, it won’t keep nudging C. It may suggest a rest day or an easy day instead.
• It spreads the work out. The pick leans toward the day you’ve trained least lately, not just least this week.
• Sore muscles win. If a muscle group needs more rest than the rotation expects, recovery steers the pick instead. A sore chest moves the pick away from a push day, toward a pull or legs day.

Weekly cadence header

The top of the Log screen shows a Weekly Cadence header. It tracks your pace against a routine’s goal. If a routine is set to 3 times a week, you’ll see how many of those you’ve done so far. A row of day chips shows past sessions and the rest days ahead.

You can set the goal per routine:

• Weekly: a set number of sessions every 7 days
• Every N days: a fixed gap between sessions, for programs that need it
• Not scheduled: for on-the-fly routines that shouldn’t drive the count

The recovery body figure

Pro adds an anatomical body figure to the card. Each muscle is shaded by how rested it is right now, from fresh to worked hard. It is the same recovery read the pick uses, shown so you can see the why behind the suggestion.

Hold and drag the body figure to inspect any muscle. A quick tap opens the full Muscle Map.

Training roles on routines

Each routine carries a role: Main, Accessory, Run, or HIIT. Kinoku sets the role on its own. If you mostly bench, squat, and deadlift, it’s a Main day. If it’s all cable work, it’s an Accessory day. You can change the role any time.

Roles feed the rotation and the cadence count. Main days count toward your weekly goal. An accessory or core day doesn’t use up a slot.

Where it fits

The Today card is free for everyone. Pro adds the rotation groups and the recovery body figure. Elite adds the readiness easy-day override. You can log every workout for free, with no cap on routines or history.
